”KUAAAAAA!!!” It's immense roar venerated throughout the whole town and I knew that the mission was officially over at this point.

I picked up the sword with my right hand or at least I tried before a sharp pain forced me to drop it to the ground.

I looked at my right hand and found that it was bent at the wrist in an unnatural angle and realized that my chance of surviving to see the next day just plummeted even more.

Regardless, I picked the sword up with my left hand and turned to face the glowing-eyes with determination that I didn't truly feel.

I felt only terror at the moment.

But regardless, I must stop it long enough till Rahul, Jasvinder and Upma come here to deal with it.

So I ignored the immense pain that was coursing through my ring hand and raised both hands in an inviting gesture as I walked forward to meet it.

”Come.” I shouted and was impressed by how brave I sounded before it jumped at me. And then, I was not feeling so brave anymore.

It swung it's remaining arm and me while ducked and maneuvered to move myself behind it. I tried to swing my sword but before I could even start, it swung it's hand back at me and I ducked and rolled out of it's way in order to not receive it's backhanded strike once again.

I cannot take it's strike. Not even one.

I might have become a bit faster than it because of the skill but the same cannot be said for my strength.

It is far more stronger than me.

The only thing I can do at this moment is hope to now get struck by it and try to take out it's remaining arm somehow.

I felt a sharp pain assault my right hand as I rolled out of it's way and then raised my head only to find it… stomp?

'Shit!' I cursed in my mind and rolled out of the way once again and watched the ground get demolished under it's feet.

I had not expected it to use it's feet. None of the abnormals I had met so far did so. Not even the 3rd tier ones.

That only went to show how unique glowing-eyes was as it tried to stomp my face in once again.

I barely rolled out of it's way this time and then rolled once again when it used it's stomping maneuver once again.

This was not even a fight.

This was just 'it' trying to stomp my face in, and me trying to keep my life in a rather pathetic manner.

It tried to stomping a few more times and I rolled out of it way a few more times even though the pain in my arm only increased and I feared that I won't be able to roll through the next one.

But luck was with me this time and at last it got angry enough to throw a… kick… at my head and I jumped out of the way in time to keep it intact and stood up to face it head one.

If it had two hands, then it would have had faster reflexes but as it stood now, I could tell that it was having trouble moving around because of the the loss of a hand.

Even though it was not showing any pain while moving around, I could tell that the loss of a limb was affecting it's balance.

That was the only thing saving me at this point.

I raised my hand and charged at it once again.
